Alain de Botton is following us on Twitter. Say his name 5 times (ok 1 time) on it and you’ll get a follow. Yesterday comedy producer and writer Bill Dare replied to a tweet we sent him. In fact, checking Bill Dare, sorry, @Bill_Dare’s Twitter I note he is tweeting @alaindebotton. Coincidence? Phh.

Whether you’re new to Twitter or an early adopter with followers in their thousands there’s bound to be the odd Twitter celebrity you’d like to follow you. Because it is Friday, that day we feel compelled to list 5 things for alliterative purposes, here’s our 5 Twits we wish would follow us.

1. @caitlinmoran if you don’t follow writer Caitlin Moran you are missing out on strange photos (usually Moran with a kitchen implement ‘what is this?’), amusing links and oddly good retweets. As a Tweeter/Twitterer/Twit (are we decided on this word? I don’t want to fall into the David Cameron trap) she is brilliant and prolific.

2. @The_WhiteWitch She’s the freaking Imperial Majesty, Jadis, Chatelaine of Cair Paravel, Empress of the Lone Islands. I am not ashamed of my love of Narnia, BBC version only (or if you MUST the books, gee) and obviously this Twitter account gives a real insight into the life of evil royalty.

3. @bengoldacre Squeamish Bikini fancies itself as reasonably scientific, we dream of the day we get an @mention from this self-confessed Nerd cheerleader congratulating us on our marvellously balanced and informative science news pieces.

4. @ArethaFranklin if the Queen of Narnia is good enough then the Queen of Soul is most certainly welcome to follow us. When you are ready Ms. Franklin, I know you’re new to Twitter.

5. @you, yes you! To make our social network dreams come true you can follow us by clicking here @SqueamishBikini you can also Like us on Facebook if that’s more your thing.

Admiring the time and energy you put into your website and in depth information you provide. It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same out of date rehashed information. Although it took me time to read through all the comments, but I really enjoyed the article. Keep up the good work.

Thanks to you! Finally I got some stuff in your blog post related. I was searching for some material related to matter included in post. Very useful and very informative. Thanks once again and do share some more posts if you have!
